As we all know a Windows phone flagship won't be coming until Windows 10. Many fans, including myself, are getting frustrated by the lack of a true flagship. I am actually getting close to buying an iPhone of Microsoft borks their flagship launch. First I will list a few boneheaded decisions they could make that could make me buy a competing platforms phone.
1) Flagship released exclusively to a carrier.
2) Not releasing a successor to the 1020.
3) Releasing a flagship with only 16GB of storage.
4) Releasing a flagship without the latest and greatest SOC.
5) Not releasing a successor to the 925.
Those are my personal boneheaded decisions Microsoft can make from most egrious to least.
If I were in charge over there of Microsoft I would release two flagships. A 1020 and 925 successor. Here would be my preferred specs for each.
Lumia 1030
- Qualcom 810 CPU
- 4 GB of Ram
- 64 GB and 128GB storage options.
- 40MP 1" Pureview Camera sensor
- 6 element glass lens.
- Weather proof body
- Single color (Black)
- Camera grip/battery extender attachmemt available in multiple colors.
- Wireless charging built-in
- 1080p 4.7" screen
- At least a 3600 mAH battery
- USB 3.1 type-c connector
- Fingerprint sensor ala TouchID.
- *Dream option* Adobe Lightroom for W10
This will not be thin phone! Camera performance is of the utmost importance. The 935 will be sexiest Lumia to come out.
Lumia 935
- Qualcom 810 CPU
- 3 GB of Ram
- 32 GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage options.
- 20MP Pureview Camera sensor

- Multiple colors available
- Wireless charging built-in
- 1080p 5" screen
- USB 3.1 type-c connector
- At least a 3000 mAH battery
- Fingerprint sensor ala TouchID.
What would be a decision Microsoft can make for you to buy a Flagship from competing platform? Also what hardware would you like to see in the eventual flagahip(s) release?
